40 Superstitions followed by Cricketers

5. Kissing bat:

Mahela Jayawardene has a long held superstition of kissing his bat which he does more often than not. Another former cricketer Roshan Mahanama used to kiss the tip of his bat’s handle before every ball on a regular basis.

6. Love for Birthday number:

Yuvraj Singh was born on 12th December which Yuvi perceives as his lucky number and can be spotted at his jersey as well. Dhoni was born on 7th of seventh month, July, and wears no.7 Jersey whenever he plays as it’s a very-very special number which has always brought good luck for him.

7. Teams glued to a certain position:

In the World Cup 1983 against Zimbabwe, when Kapil Dev started milking the bowlers, players were not allowed to move from their places for luck. Kris Srikkanth who was standing outside the dressing room on a cold, windy day couldn’t move from his place for the next two hours due to this, not even to attend the natures call. In 2002, when Kaif and Yuvraj started playing well, similar thing got replicated.

8. Supernatural magic of left foot and shoe:

Dale Steyn always steps onto the field with his left foot first. This is his symbol action which he considers lucky for himself while Brett Lee always used to put on his left shoe first. Only god knows the magic of landing on the lucky left side.
